PANELISED SYSTEMS 2 DIMENSIONAL

Also regarded as “non-volumetric pre-assembly”. These are either classified as ‘open’ or ‘closed’ with open panels normally being non-insulated and closed panels being insulated. Enhanced panels are also referred to and these panelised systems have been enhanced beyond the closed state to include windows and doors, services (electrical or plumbing) or other finishes such as external cladding or internal lining..

MODULAR OR VOLUMETRIC SYSTEMS – 3 DIMENSIONAL

This term is used to describe units prefabricated in a factory that enclose usable space that are typically fully finished internally, such as toilet/bathroom pods and plant rooms, whichare then installed within or onto a building or

• structure. Additionally this can include “complete

buildings” where the completed useable space forms part of the completed building or structure finished internally (lined) and externally (clad). These are up to 80–95 per cent complete when they leave the factory

SUB-ASSEMBLIES AND COMPONENTS – 2D OR 3D

This covers manufactured components that fall short of being fully offsite manufacturedsystems. Typically, the term refers to simplified components like stairs, doors and windows that are manufactured in factories. They require more joints and connections, and require more careful alignments and infiltration checks.

HYBRID SYSTEM – 2D + 3D

A hybrid system is a combination of more than

• ne system or approach and is normally a

combination of both volumetric and panelised systems.

HYBRID SYSTEM – 2D + 3D

Whole buildings are standardised building units prefabricated to the highest degree of finish as compared to components, panels, modules, and

• hybrids. More work is done under a controlled

factory environment (with larger building structures), providing the opportunity for the manufacturer to take control of the quality and speed of completion of the final product. However, sometimes their bulk size and weight presents difficulties in transportation from the factory to the building site.

Sandyford Student Housing

C + W O’Brien Architects have been working with

• ur client on this project since 2015. The project has

developed has developed through the various changes to industry standards and the implementation of the SHD process to go from 102 units in it’s first planning application, to an second application to increase to 126 apartments following updates to the apartment standards and currently an application is due for 196 units following the recent changes to the height guidelines. Over the past few months the development has changed hands. This led to a desire to build the project using 3D Modular Construction. C+W O’Brien Architects along with the design team have spent the past 2 months reviewing the design and have developed a modular design that works economically as well as avoiding the need for another planning application on the site. The project is currently in technical design phase and is due to start on site in September.

• CiTA / Modular + Offsite Institute / C+W O’Brien

Architects are arranging a series of 6 morning events in DCC offices to move the discussion on

• Modular + Offsite Institute to be launched at the first

event on February 4th 2020

• Irelands first modular apartment block with MHI and

BAM will be on site in the new year

• On going research and collaboration with many Modular

Manufacturers
